Not just natural language processing. It’s also the largest public archive of spreadsheets. When I was at Microsoft, a bunch of projects used it. For example, when the TypeScript version of the Excel calc engine wanted to see how good their coverage was, they tried to see how many of the Enron sheets they could correctly calculate (as in, give the same answers as desktop Excel, not give the answer without all of the fraud).
It sometimes surprises me to learn that there are people who don't know that one of the first really big datasets used to train and evaluate computer language and social models was (and still is) a bunch of internal emails from Enron.
Yes, that Enron. Collected as part of the investigation into its collapse.
I wrote a proof-of-concept and writeup for CVE-2025-48593, an Android Bluetooth issue that only seems to affect devices that act as Bluetooth headsets / speakers. (i.e. NOT phones, only smartwatches/wearables/cars. And only after pairing. So you can stop worrying.)

So far, I was only able to get a null pointer deref (without malloc debug) or an attempted write to library rodata (with malloc debug).

Huge Ws for Rust adoption in Android!
Historically, security improvements often came at a cost. More security meant more process, slower performance, or delayed features, forcing trade-offs between security and other product goals. The shift to Rust is different: we are significantly improving security and key development efficiency and product stability metrics.
